Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips

Here is a new Canon DSLR kit from B&H Photo for which I custom selected the products and asked B&H to provide discounts to Photography Bay readers (which they did $$$). I have a Canon kit for now (a Nikon kit is in the works) and if these turn out to be popular, there may be more down the line.

My thoughts on putting together these kits were to select quality, reliable and affordable DSLR kits for beginners. These are kits that are a good fit for most beginners who just don’t know what they are looking for but would like a quality camera at a good price.

There are no cheap tripods or junk accessories inside these kits. This is gear that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to my mom or my best friends if they wanted a first “serious” camera. Check out what’s in the Canon kit below.

B&H is now starting to ship the Canon 1D X Mark II. It still shows up as a pre-order on the site at the time of this post, but B&H confirmed that they have them on-site and are starting to ship the 1D X Mark II to customers. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

B&H has the Canon EOS C100 line on sale this week as part of its NAB sale for up to $1500 off. The original C100 is now only $2499 (orig. $3999). The C100 Mark II is also available in the sale. Check out all of the bodies and kits here at B&H Photo.
